Wow, awesome news ... maybe some of those others will come back as well

I read over the weekend that all the others had already decided to go (the Jrs that were drafted), just working out the deals right now. KMart was the only holdout, but most were pretty certain he was coming back.

Great News! I heard one of GG's interviews recently in which whom he thought would emerge as leaders next season, he listed Mooney & Crowe. So, with no mention of K-Mart....I became "convinced" that Kyle would not return.

I think Crowe is our next "Roth" in the dugout. Watched him all season and he was the primary one getting the "antics" going. I have a feeling once he gets past the "I'm just a Freshman" thing, he'll be great in that regard. Heck, if anyone watched the Regional, he was the one leading the antics then (when he wasn't mowing guys down from 60 ft, 6 inches away).

Possibly the biggest pickup this offseason.
Martin gives you a known power bat, and a solid defensive first baseman.
Heck, our BAT leader is coming back, along with his 38 RBIs, 5 HRs and .995 fielding percentage.

Love to see what this lineup could do with Martin, a healthy Schrock and a healthy Bright.

Also feel real good about our infield defense next year with the likliehood of adding Madison Stokes to the fold.
